TAKING A PICTURE

Take the picture.
Note
Press the shutter button gently. If it is pressed hard, the camera may move
and pictures may come out blurred.
Never open the battery compartment/card cover, remove the battery or
disconnect the AC adapter while the lamp on the camera is blinking red. Doing
so could destroy stored pictures and prevent storage of pictures you have just
taken.
Recorded pictures are saved on the card regardless of whether the camera
is turned off or the battery is replaced or removed.
When taking pictures against strong backlight, the area of the picture in
shadow may appear colored.
Every time you press the shutter button, the memory gauge lights indicating
that the picture you have just taken is being recorded onto the card. The
memory gauge changes according to how many pictures the camera is
processing. This indicator is not displayed while recording movies.
The lamp on the camera blinks
red while the picture is recorded
onto the card.
